🌲 ABOUT THE SERIES
Wytches is a supernatural horror series created by Scott Snyder and Jock, reinventing the traditional mythology of witchcraft through an unsettling combination of ancient folklore, psychological terror, and family tragedy.
After a traumatic incident, the Rooks family moves to the isolated town of Litchfield, New Hampshire, hoping to begin a new life.
But deep within the surrounding forests dwell ancient, terrifying creatures known as Wytches.
Unlike the witches of traditional folklore, these beings are monstrous predators living beneath the earth, capable of manipulating human lives through sinister bargains and rituals.
When young Sailor Rooks becomes the target of these creatures, her father Charlie discovers the terrifying truth behind the town's secrets.
Exploring parental fear, guilt, sacrifice, and the disturbing consequences of ancient supernatural agreements, Wytches combines emotionally intense storytelling with Jock's distinctive artwork.
